Can a school with clock hour programs use portions of a clock hour when using the Return calculation?
Yes. If the school tracks the completion of clock hours in portions of an hour (for example, in 15-minute intervals) for all students in the program, it can use portions of a clock hour in the Return calculation. If a school counts only whole hours, with no credit for partially completed hours toward completion of the program, only whole hours may be used in the Return calculation. (See the Federal Student Aid Handbook.
